"Sweeny Todd, Barber of Fleet Street"

The dvd was perfect for HALLOWEEN. The actors were just excellent making the characters come to life with horror in some cases. Saw the show on stage, but loved the dvd because the actors were well known, the staging was not as graphic as the play, and the scenery was more believable. Be prepared to wince more than once. This is a true story.
This film of the original stage production of "Sweeney Todd" is really a gem. If all you saw was the movie with Johnny Depp you missed out. This production has the tension, the disturbing images, the true scariness, and even the humor that the movie lacked. A lot of the credit goes to George Hearn and Angela Lansbury as the demonic leads. They have both the singing voices to handle Sondheim's difficult music and the acting chops to make you believe their characters could calmly contemplate murder and cannibalism and even enjoy it.
If you want to see the master of modern musical theatre at work, supported by a cast that can handle the work, buy this video. You may not sleep well that night, but it will be worth it.
"Fabulous movie, good condition, quality case!"

The new released case, is a much needed quality improvement over the old one. The movie is excellent a wonderful edition to any Broadway collection. A great gift for a Broadway lover...
Well you obviously haven't seen this production of Sweeney Todd! In comparison to this version of Sweeney, Pippin has amazing cinematography.
Now yes this is a good musical, yes this is the version with Lansbury and the first version with Hearn. But cinematography wise, this version is a complete train wreck. For one there's too many closeups during the drama scenes, not allowing us to see the rest of the set. As for the far shots and shots from above, they become more of a distraction than anything else. The editing is quite bad too- constant jump cutting, which makes ruins the "filmed at one show" thing. I wish my hair could randomly fix itself without me touching it like Hearn's in "A Little Priest"! Actors' poses change positions, not to mention some songs looked lip synched due to bad production.
In short, steer clear of this horrid video, look for a bootleg of the same tour, or get the concert version with Neil Patrick Harris and Patti LuPone.

The Bottom Line:
Whatever power the musical might have had on stage is not in evidence in this filmed version of the play; instead of watching this nuetered version you'd be better served to watch the theatrical one with Depp and Bonham-Carter--it's not perfect, but it's better than watching a filmed stage play.

I, too, have owned the VHS version of this production for 20 years and am glad that it made the DVD transition. I wish all musicals - not just Sondheim's - were transferred to DVD in their orignal Broadway state before the 'movie version' is released. Think of posterity!
